Stimulate Your Skin's Natural Collagen—for Long-Lasting Rejuvenation

Biostimulators are the next step in aesthetic medicine—perfect for clients looking for results that evolve over time. These collagen-boosting injectables gradually improve skin texture, firmness, and volume from within, helping you age gracefully and naturally.

At Thrive Wellness + Aesthetics, we use the most trusted biostimulators: Sculptra® and Radiesse®.

What Are Biostimulators?

Biostimulators aren’t fillers—they’re collagen stimulators. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that provide instant volume, biostimulators work gradually by triggering your body to regenerate collagen, resulting in firmer, smoother skin and longer-lasting improvement.
